Multifactorial comparison of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) to standard pressure-controlled (PCV) in terms oxygenation cardiac surgery patients after chest closure.Prospective, non-blinded, randomized, controlled trial.Operating theatre at an university hospital, Austria.Patients scheduled for elective, open, on-pump, surgery.Participants were randomized either individualized FCV (compliance guided end-expiratory and peak pressure setting) or control PCV setting tidal volume 6-8 ml/kg)...
Epitympanic temperature (Tty) measured with thermistor probes correlates core body (Tcore), but the reliability of measurements at low ambient is unknown. The aim this study was to determine if commercially-available thermistor-based Tty reflects Tcore in and influenced by insulation ear. Thirty-one participants (two females) were exposed room (23.2 ± 0.4 °C) (−18.7 1.0 for 10 min using a randomized cross-over design. an epitympanic probe (M1024233, GE Healthcare Finland Oy) oesophageal...
The influence of adrenaline during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the neurological outcome cardiac arrest survivors is unclear. As little known about pathophysiological effects cerebral oxygen delivery and metabolism we investigated its parameters oxygenation in a pig model CPR.Fourteen pigs were anesthetized, intubated instrumented. After 5 min CPR was started continued for 15 min. Animals randomized to receive bolus injections either or 30 μg/kg every after commencement...
Abstract Background Flow-controlled ventilation is a novel method which allows to individualize according dynamic lung mechanic limits based on direct tracheal pressure measurement at stable constant gas flow during inspiration and expiration. The aim of this porcine study was compare individualized flow-controlled (FCV) current guideline-conform pressure-controlled (PCV) in long-term ventilation. Methods Anesthetized pigs were ventilated with either FCV or PCV over period 10 h fixed FiO 2...
The effects of adrenaline on cerebral blood vessels during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are not well understood. We developed an extracorporeal CPR model that maintains constant low systemic flow while allowing adrenaline-associated vasculature to be assessed at different mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels independently the flow.After eight minutes cardiac arrest, low-flow life support (ECLS) (30 ml/kg/min) was started in fourteen pigs. After ten minutes, continuous administration...
Purpose of review This provides an updated overview neonatal resuscitation practices relevant to obstetric anesthesiologists, with a focus on term and late preterm neonates (>34 weeks’ gestation). Key topics include umbilical cord management, temperature regulation, airway strategies, pharmacological interventions, emphasizing evidence-based approaches. Recent findings Delayed clamping enhances outcomes, including improved blood volume oxygenation. Positive pressure ventilation remains...
This work describes the use of high resolution online microdialysis coupled with a wireless microfluidic electrochemical sensing platform for continuous monitoring effect cardiac arrest and resuscitation methods on brain glucose other key neurochemicals in porcine model. The integrated portable device incorporates low-volume three-dimensional (3D) printed flow cells containing enzyme-based biosensors glucose, lactate glutamate measurement complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based...
Transplantation activity during the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was severely affected worldwide. This retrospective analysis aimed to assess impact COVID-19 on organ donations and transplantations in Eurotransplant region 12 mo pandemic. Specifically, we compared donor transplantation numbers both waves determine whether transplant systems adapted this new reality.All reported from March 1, 2015, February 28, 2021, were collected International Foundation...
BACKGROUND A continuous gas flow provided by flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) facilitates accurate dynamic compliance measurement and allows the clinician to individually optimise positive end-expiratory peak pressure settings accordingly. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was compare efficiency exchange impact on haemodynamics between individualised FCV pressure-controlled (PCV) in a porcine model oleic acid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). DESIGN Randomised controlled...
<i>Background:</i> Lipid abnormalities are twice as common in patients with type 2 diabetes, and this contributes substantially to their increased risk of cardiac disease. The American Diabetic Association (ADA) has defined treatment goals for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (>45 mg/dL), triglyceride (<200 low-density (LDL) (<100 mg/dL). It is unknown, however, how frequently diabetes managed primary care settings able attain these goals. <i>Methods:</i> We randomly...
The understanding and neurological prognostication of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after hypothermic cardiac arrest (CA) is limited. Recent data suggest that the protein tau (total tau) might be a useful marker for outcome in patients with HIE. This translational porcine study aimed to analyze brain physiology relation total release during CA. Eight domestic pigs were studied as part prospective using cerebral microdialysis (CMD). CMD samples analysis collected at baseline, reaching...
Summary The aim of this study was to analyse publication trends from the anaesthetic literature G‐20 countries. We performed a search in Medline identify articles related departments published between 2001 and 2015, by specific countries according affiliation field authors, three time periods 2001–2005, 2006–2010 2011–2015. number articles, original (vs. reviews, editorials or correspondence), per million inhabitants, citations article were analysed. In total, 96,920 2015 74 4117...
Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is a novel method increasingly being used clinically, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, continuous flow pattern in FCV inspiration and expiration has significant impact on respiratory parameters ventilatory settings compared to conventional modes. In addition, constant combined with direct intratracheal pressure measurement allows determination of dynamic compliance can be adjusted accordingly, reflecting personalized approach.A...
